Just in case. If I say something stupid in the future, it’s better to be able to point out that the stupidity is mine, and mine alone. My stupidity! You can’t have it! All are free to read here, but if you know me personally you have no right to hold any of this against me.

Another list of things

I know that every Province and every State have lists like this, and most e-mailer's get one at least once a year, but today I thought I'd post my Provinces. I agree with most of these statements. And I challenge you, that if you don't understand one - just ask someone (or me) from British Columbia to clarify. Or might have some that you share if you're not from these parts - I'd love to hear all about it.

Enjoy:

You Might Be From B.C., if...

1. You know the provincial flower is actually Mildew.

2. You feel guilty throwing aluminum cans or paper in the trash.

3. You use the statement 'sunny break' and know what it means.

4. You know more than 10 ways to order coffee.

5. You know more people who own boats than air conditioners.

6. You feel overdressed wearing a suit to a nice restaurant.

7. You stand on a deserted road in the rain waiting for the 'Walk' signal.

8. You know that if it has no snow, it is not a real mountain.

9. You can taste the difference between Starbucks, Blenz, and Tim Horton's.

10. You know the difference between Chinook, Coho, and Sockeye salmon.

11. You know how to pronounce Squamish, Osoyoos, Nanaimo, and Tsawwassen.

12. You consider swimming an indoor sport.

13. You can tell the difference between Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and Thai food.

14. In winter, you go to work in the dark and come home in the dark while only working eight-hour days.

15. You never go camping without waterproof matches and a poncho.

16. You are not fazed by 'Today's forecast: showers followed by rain,' and 'Tomorrow's forecast: rain followed by showers.'

17. You cannot wait for a day with the forecast 'showers and sunny breaks'.

18. You have no concept of humidity without precipitation.

19. You know that Dawson Creek is a town, not a TV show.

20. You can point to at least two ski mountains, even if you cannot see through the cloud cover.

21. You remark the mountain is 'out' when it is a clear day and you can actually see it.

22. You put on your shorts when the temperature gets above 5, but still wear your hiking boots and parka.

23. You switch to your sandals when it gets about 10, but keep the socks on. (Ew!)

What you might want to know about me

Married without children. Church Secretary. Needle Felter, Paper crafter (but not scrap booking) and a joy to be around - if I do say so myself. I'm just trying to make my way through this world in one piece.
